What owners say about the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 3G (5GB + 32GB)

Based on 218 owners sharing their experience in online comments

31%positive14%mixed55%negative

Owners praise its lasting reliability and smooth performance, while reset failures, software problems, and aging hardware cause frustration.

What owners dislike

  • After an Odin flash, the tablet may stay on the Downloading screen or show Could not do normal boot, and key combinations often failed to exit.19
  • After installing, the tablet may hang on the Samsung logo or starting apps for hours; a factory data reset sometimes fixes it.17
  • The recovery or factory reset menu may not appear, showing a custom OS warning instead, or the tablet powers off or shows an error during wipe.14
  • After the update, owners report reboots, freezes, force-closing apps and Google Play problems; some went back to Lollipop.11
  • Owners say the battery wears out, drains within a couple of hours, charges slowly, and in some cases has leaked or shown an overheating warning.10
  • Owners find the cameras very poor, and some say they stopped working after installing custom firmware or an update.7
  • Owners report the screen cracking after a drop or knock, touch no longer responding, and sometimes sound but no picture on the display.7
  • Owners find it slow and laggy with heavier tasks, such as repeatedly pasting text into a notes app, and it has slowed further over time.6
  • Owners say the charging port is fragile and can break or stop charging, and charging can take over twelve hours.6
  • Owners report the SD card repeatedly disconnecting with damaged-card messages, apps on the card stopping after an update, and storage filling up quickly.5

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 3G is a mid-range tablet featuring a 10.1-inch WXGA TFT display with a 1280 x 800 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. It is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor paired with 1.5 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a microSD slot up to 64 GB. Main characteristics include its slim 8 mm profile, lightweight 487g build with a textured faux-leather back, and a large 6,800 mAh battery designed for extended multimedia use.
